A young man wishes to see his long-passed father and his dreams come true!
The father that he hoped to reunite with appears as a twelve-year-old boy with many surprises. “Pura Belpré Award-winning author Ernesto Cisneros takes readers ‘back to the future’ in this funny and heartfelt time-travel tale about family, grief, and love that stretches across the years.” Themes and categories:
Ernesto Cisneros was born and raised in Santa Ana, California, where he still teaches. He is the author of Efrén Divided, which won the Pura Belpré Children’s Author Award, and Falling Short. As an author, he believes in providing today’s youth with an honest depiction of characters with whom they can identify. His work strives to reflect that.
